I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 196 Preliminary Round 1

In a room of the Imperial College, dozens of imperial doctors gathered there.

After the second round of preliminary assessments of the Medical Competition, this group of doctors used the scores they gave to the assessing doctors to rank them and selected the top eighty people to enter the rematch of the second round of the Medical Competition.

After checking three times, the top eighty people were finally decided.

"Let me see who are the top ten in the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition." At this time, the list of candidates for the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition had been confirmed, and it only needed to be written on the red list. An imperial physician was impatient to check the ranking.

"Hey! She won the first place in the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition. It was not Hua Yue, Shi Tianyun, or Wu Shang." After seeing the list, the imperial physician was a little surprised. The first place in the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition was won by Xu Qingyi.

Afterwards, the imperial physician was even more surprised when he saw that Xu Qingyi's score in the second preliminary round of the medical competition was 9.3 points, which was 1.5 points higher than the second place Shi Tianyun.

He remembered that this girl was only fifteen years old. In the second preliminary round of the medical competition, she scored 9.3 points in the hand diagnosis test. It can be seen that her hand diagnosis skills are indeed amazing and her medical skills are beyond doubt.

"This girl is extremely talented and has a bright future!" The imperial physician next to her also saw Xu Qingyi's score and couldn't help but admire her.

Xu Qingyi, this name has attracted widespread attention in the medical competition. Although she is still young, her medical skills are outstanding, making many doctors older than her feel ashamed.

In the medical competition, hand diagnosis is a very important part of the assessment. By observing and touching the patient's palm, one can judge the patient's condition and cause of the disease, which is an important sign of superb medical skills. Xu Qingyi was able to get a high score of 9.3 points in the hand diagnosis assessment, which is enough to prove that her medical skills have reached perfection.

“Among the top ten in the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition, six are doctors from my Rejuvenation Clinic.

Haha! We beat the Miaoshou Clinic." The imperial physician of Huichun Clinic showed off a little proudly after seeing that among the top ten in the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition, there was one more doctor from Huichun Clinic than from Miaoshou Clinic.

"What's there to be proud of? Until the third round of the Medical Competition, no one knows which clinic's doctors will take the first place, nor which clinic has the most doctors in the top ten."

"That's right. Let's just wait and see." An imperial physician from Miaoshou Clinic immediately retorted. Although their clinic had one less person in the top ten of the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition than Huichun Clinic, they did not think that this meant that their clinic had lost the Medical Competition.

Every medical competition is not only to select excellent doctors for the two clinics, but also to absorb fresh blood for the Imperial Hospital. The most important thing is the competition for interests and the exchange of interests between the Miaoshou Clinic and the Huichun Clinic.

Ever since the one clinic split into two, they have been disliking each other and have been at odds with each other.

We also set up small competitions in the art of medicine, large competitions in the art of medicine, and medical competitions between two local clinics, etc.

The medical competition is somewhat different from the other two. Not only does it gather all the doctors in Tianshan Kingdom in the capital to compete, but during the competition, the top five can also enter the Imperial Hospital to work as officials. The winner can also win five unconditional promotion places for his clinic.

Officials of the fifth rank of imperial physician and above need to be conferred by the emperor before they can be promoted.

For imperial physicians below the fifth rank, they only need to vote with the imperial physicians of the two medical clinics headed by the first rank: Holy Imperial Physician Cui Shan??? and the imperial physicians of the second rank: Grand Imperial Physician Wu Chen. Those who get the most votes will be promoted to higher positions and then put on the list for the emperor to review immediately. Basically, they will pass without any surprises.

However, it was extremely difficult for imperial physicians below the fifth rank to be promoted. They had to either make great contributions and be promoted by the emperor, empress dowager or empress, or gain promotion through seniority.

It is difficult for the former to be promoted, because to treat the concubines, empress dowager, queen and others in the palace, they must be treated by imperial physicians of the fifth rank or above. Imperial physicians below the fifth rank are not qualified unless they are summoned to see the patient.

As for the latter, without three to five years of experience, there is no way to be promoted to an official position. During this period, the two medical clinic factions have to vote. Three to five years of experience is just an admission ticket. What's more difficult is that there are only three places for promotion based on seniority every year. Hundreds of people are competing for these three places, which is even more difficult.

Therefore, the imperial doctors below the fifth rank were all working silently. Most of them treated concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, and lower-ranking officials in the capital, accumulating medical skills and experience, hoping that one day they would be promoted to a higher position and receive higher treatment.

However, at this time, the five unconditional promotion places became valuable. Those who could be unconditionally promoted to the positions of imperial physicians below the fifth rank did not need voting. They could simply add their names to the list of officials to be promoted annually.

.........

After finishing dinner at a tavern not far from the Imperial College, the red list of the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition had not yet been posted.

However, at this time, countless participating doctors had already gathered on the Imperial College Square. They were either in groups of three or five, or alone, or talking in low voices, or eagerly waiting for the red list of the second preliminary round of the Medical Competition to be posted to see if they were on the list and whether they could enter the second semi-final of the Medical Competition.

As night deepens and the lights come on, the bright lights outside the Imperial College Square illuminate the expectant faces.

Doctor Ye, Xu Qingyi and others also chose a good position and waited for the person who would post the red list to come out.

"Qingyi, Baiyan, are you sure?" Xu Junpeng was also there waiting for the red list with Xu Qingyi and the others.

Xu Junpeng was eliminated in the first game of the medical competition and missed the second game.

Years ago, during the pharmacy competition in Chuanshan County, the medical knowledge he had learned was much better than Xu Qingyi's. Now, only four or five years had passed, and the gap between them had narrowed so much.

He didn't expect that the new scholar Bai Yan was better than him and even entered the second round of the medical competition. This made Xu Junpeng doubt his medical skills for a while.

He took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan. Although he felt unwilling, he was more looking forward to it. He hoped that they could achieve good results in this medical competition and win glory for his Huichun Clinic.

"Just wait and see the red list posted." Xu Qingyi said calmly.
